How fishes see the color?
 

I have the suspect that all these colors in the baits attract more the
fisherman that the fish :)
Is there a rigorous study about how different fishes see and react the
colors?

Check out "What fish see" & "Knowing Bass" , both get pretty in depth
into the vision of fish. "What fish see" is based more on Salmon and
Steelhead on the west coast , btu "Knowing Bass" is as the title
suggests, written from a Biologist at Pure FIshing (Berkley).

I have read them both a couple times. Very in depth, and scientific.

IN a nutshell, Bass are very sensitive to certain colors, and not as
sensitive to others. Some colors they conclude they can determine
different shades of the same color, while other colors blend in and are
either just light or dark contrasts.

Red !

The colour of blood is seen by most fish and can invoke a reaction. However, the tone
variation may make a difference.

I find that Blue Fish and Striped Bass have good sight and that's why I don't use black or
steel coloured leaders. I find a camouflaged leader works much better. Besides the weight
issue, the transition between red, clear and green helps the leader material to not be see
by blending into the background.

Does anyone besides me remeber a color-meter gadget that was sold about 20
years ago?
You rolled the cable down into the water and a gauge told you the best color
lure to use.

Yup. The Color-C-Lector or something like that. They have a new digital
version available.

Sure. And I also remember when Dick Sternberg of the old Hunting &
Fishing Library line up 7 of them next to each other and got 6 different
colors.
